Mainly at Shell or Esso for the loyalty points. However, while I hate lineups, I just found out that Costco has Ethanol-free 91, so I'm going to take the hit on the lineups, and gas up there. Cheaper, too.

You live in a small city of what, 40,000 people? Try the metropolitan area of Chicago with a population of 10 million or so. Covington would be swallowed by many of our 'burbs, 23 of them with populations above 50,000.
There are 20 Costco locations in the Chicago metro area, and cars line up to get fuel there. So three deliveries, even four, in a day at a busy location is quite possible.

In my wife’s ‘13 427 we run Shell premium 91 octane with no ethanol. In my ‘66 (also in our ‘56 Harley FLH) I run a mixture of BP 110 octane leaded and Shell 91 Octane. The vehicles really like what we feed them!

Costco is cheaper because they buy in bulk (like everything else). Their tanks are typically MUCH larger than standard gas stations (because they buy in bulk). Yes, they we get multiple loads a day, they do go through that much gas. When the gasline caught fire here in Alabama last year? there was a "gas shortage" Costco here was the main place with gas because they had already scheduled multiple truckloads a day to refill, so it did not cause a slow down for them.

Costco for me as well. Unless I'm on the road traveling, then it's what ever is convenient. No ARCO though.
And yes, I know my Costco gets two trucks a day. There is a line of 5-6 cars after 9am and they they have 16 pumps.

Cheapest top tier premium I can find without driving any extra distance. Around here that's usually Quick Trip. I don't belong to any of the buying clubs and they typically have lines and are in areas with very heavy traffic so I avoid them like the plague. My preferred grocery store will have coupons for $10 off a $50 gas card almost every other week so that brings the cost significantly below the buying clubs.
